FABRIC ART

Barvennon.com began it's existence as the website of a wool producer.  Time has passed, and the wool farm has followed inevitable economic processes and been absorbed into a larger farm, gaining thereby the advantages of scale.  The former farmer has moved on, and has reincarnated as a fabric artist.

My workshop is a studio in my home in Paddington, Sydney.  Currently my portfolio is quite limited.  I have photographs of some lengths of fabric (velveteen mostly) as samples of the work that I have done.  In addition I provide photographs of recent artwork.  The cotton shirts are variously tiedyed or tiebleached, then printed with "one off" patterns from which I produce between 10 and 30 prints.  These shirts can be made to order, in the sense that a buyer can specify the fabric (natural fibers only) the predominant colour and the subject matter of the screenprint.  Shirts cost $100 each.
